A popular neighborhood recreational spot, the Queensbridge Park lies overlooking the East River, near the Queensboro Bridge, the park’s namesake. Spread over an area of 20.34 acres (8.2 hectares), this park comes equipped with facilities like dog runs, baseball fields, barbecuing areas, playgrounds, and handball courts. The history of the park is entwined with the history of the Queensboro Bridge, and the park was created as a part of a major redevelopment project of the area. Today, the park offers a green respite for the residents, and also acts as a community gathering point, hosting several community events. See the website to know more about upcoming events and other details about this park.
